Tax disc and number plates - Ready for the road!!!

So after what seemed like forever waiting for the DVLA, I finally got my tax disc and registration number today.  As soon as I got home I was straight out again to Halfords to get some number plates made up.

DVLA have issued me a brand new 63 reg which is what I was after so I'm pretty pleased with that.

Tonight I fixed the number plates, rear with adhesive pads and the front with 2no. black rivets into the front of the nose cone.  Last job was to fix the tax disc holder - I decided to mount this between the seats.

Looking forward to the first fully registered drive tomorrow (weather permitting!) !!  Its been 4 weeks since I was last in the car on the way back from the IVA.
